@ Gojira_101 : Funny you say that. That is exactly what I did.... When 2 elders came over, I expressed genuine concern, like "oh my, guess what I just heard? Someone told me that the organization was signed up as a supporter of the UN??? That CAN"T be true!" So of course they begin with their usual "well whoever gave you that information is an apostate and can not be trusted..." So I said, "no it wasn't an apostate, it was just a coworker who was reading something in the news about it and mentioned it to me as he knew I was a JW..." I told them it's not where I got the information that concerns or worries me but the information itself. So I told them I went directly to the UN Website where I found the infomation along with the letter from the UN where they confirmed that the WT organization was indeed listed. For the rest of our conversation I continued to stress my confusion about how this could happen and how let down I felt. The said they never heard anything about it and it was NO DOUBT FALSE information, so they would look into it for me and would come back.... They never came back.

3/15 WT " Do Not Deceive Yourself "- WT's Excuses for No Armageddon
by flipper inwith the new " overlap generation " theory that the wt society is pushing onto rank and file jehovah's witnesses since last year this article i found really heavy hitting in the jw version of the wt.
the wt society is leaking oil in that confidence is low among jw's in not really buying into the " generation overlap " theory as many younger jw's are exiting the organization.
so what better way to try reeling members back in by giving them an article entitled " do not deceive yourself with false reasoning " !

Feb. 15th WT - WT Society says DFed Ones are Lawless- Just Like Demons
by flipper ini would assume that some or a good number of us here as normal humans in this society - consider " lawless " actions to include murder , robbery, extortion, rape, child abuse, war , terrorism, etc.
the wt society has their own definition of what's considered " lawless ".
anything that's considered a disfellowshipping offense in the jehovah's witnesses is now considered " lawless ".

This is a great letter!! What's funny is that I recently received a letter from my sister and the letter I wrote back to her (I haven't sent it yet) is almost exactly the same.. I don't really post on here but I do read the comments and "troll" regularly. I enjoy the thoughts and discussions and am glad there is a forum for those of us who have similiar experiences. If you are not a ex-JW or associated some way, it's really hard for people to understand our circumstances.. Well anyways as soon as I finish my letter I was hoping to post it for suggestions and/or thoughts.. thanks again..
